plus that checkout factor - if Trader Joe’s had self-checkout, then I couldn’t buy any wine there. This is why I won’t get wine at Safeway or Costco, although both places don’t carry anything as cheap as $2 bottles. Actually I don’t even know if 2 buck chuck is even still available :-) |

You still haven't explained why you need any wine at all for fish tacos. And I am not buying that $1 here or there is gonna make a difference in your life. BTW, 2 buck chuck is now $3 I think. :p
Problem is that I normally bring back about 4 litres (just under a gallon) from our annual visits to Tokyo - ridiculously cheap there - and go through it over the year. Had to cancel our last trip and have been making do with decent - but HEAVILY discounted - Sherry. Don’t use wine as it goes off much more quickly. |

I don’t make fish tacos but Japanese sake is a given with any fish I make. If it’s not used to marinade the fish, it will feature in the cooking seasonings, and even in a cream stew/chowder it will end up in the white sauce.

ooh I like the idea of sake or sherry - hmmm. I’ll look at pricing. Yes, wine has such a shelf life after it’s open. Sigh.

If it’s cheaper, a dry vermouth works wonders too.
For some reason gaobest doesn't want to explain why he has to use wine for fish tacos. :confused: |

I mentioned dry vermouth and it will keep in the fridge for a few months.

Mr. CE is making osso buco and risotto tonight. Yum!

Dinner tonight was in the PHX Admirals Club, after flying to the Midwest and back this weekend.
Made to order guac, mac and cheese with bacon, and a tossed salad. Nothing but water to drink, as I had a few IPAs in route. |

I have decided I don't care enough. We have all given him multiple suggestions & I am done. I am filing it under why he lets a kid decide what food adults are allowed to eat and why he can have cooked pork but not raw. I wonder if the kid realizes that all cooked pork was raw at one time. :p
Tonight's dinner was chicken with a garlic marinade, topped with parmesan cheese, served with mixed veggies. After watching the first quarter of the Steelers game, I decided to bake and now have most of a pan of chocolate fudge brownies and a pan of Rice Krispies Treats (not really baking for those). |
